About Anna
Anna Rita Iaboni is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, parenting and relationship concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Italian.
She draws on a mix of approaches to help people talk through what feels stuck. That includes attachment-based ideas about how early bonds affect adult relationships. She also uses client-centred listening to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used where practical steps can ease symptoms.
In sessions she focuses on what is happening now and how past patterns may repeat. Conversations can cover intimacy-related worries, coping with life changes, or difficulties tied to caregiving and blended family dynamics. Practical tools and reflective work are combined so people can try things between appointments.
Anna Rita also attends to issues such as eating and sleeping problems, addiction-related concerns, ADHD and anger. She acknowledges the emotional load of compassion fatigue and supports people facing chronic illness or caregiver stress. Work with relationship topics includes communication and commitment issues.
Her background in performing arts and holistic therapies informs a more experiential style at times. People can expect a steady pace and dialogue shaped by their preferences. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Anna Rita uses attachment-based work to look at how earlier relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when recurring trust, intimacy or communication problems keep resurfacing. It focuses on experiences between people and how to change repeating cycles.She also employs client-centred counselling, which means listening closely to what matters to the individual and following their pace. This can help with emotional processing, parenting stress and finding personal priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy, used alongside these, offers practical steps and experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful habits.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree a way forward together. That collaborative process includes checking which methods feel most useful and adapting as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm the exact online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often find that combining reflective conversation with practical CBT tasks works well in remote sessions.
